Democrats Poised for Some Soul-Searching.
Congressional Democrats will have plenty to ponder during the Christmas and New Year's break. For instance, why did things go so badly this fall and how well did their leaders serve them?
In a string of setbacks this past week, Democratic leaders yielded to Bush and his allies on Iraq war money, tax and health policies, and spending decisions affecting billions of dollars throughout the government.
The concessions stunned many Democrats, who saw the 2006 elections as a mandate to redirect the war and Bush's domestic priorities. Instead, they found his goals unchanged and his clout barely diminished.
This is a huge story!!
, The unpopularity of Congress and how little they have actually gotten done after crying so loudly that we needed a dem/rat congress.
Can't wait to see how they try and spin this one and you know they will.
